Travelling for ten years ,billions of miles going to land at 7.30 this morning . on a comet somewhere in space .Do you believe it .Nay I'm in the no camp

[janbee]

Yes, I heard . They can do that and to the second, yet they can't get the buses and trains to run on time.

You don't get traffic jams, road works and awkward customers in space - makes sticking to timetable a lot easier.

[janbee]

bhg, yeah I suppose you're right.xx

[Old_Geezer]

No they'll be late, have to land on another comet, and catch a connecting bus.

[Old_Geezer]

The flight will terminate at Pluto and they'll have to travel by bus from there.

[Hopkirk]

What a ridiculous waste of enormous amounts of money and resources

[Old_Geezer]

They don't let single landers land unless accompanied by children, apparently.

I'm sure there's a medical term for that procedure, but Sqad will no doubt enlighten us.
